Maryland Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm for Maryland, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- New damp or leaks inside
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Negotiating a claim settlement

How a storm damage roof report works in Maryland
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey ridges and hips, flashings and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We check what we’re given access to in Maryland, inside and out. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

FAQs for Maryland
Is parking a problem for a survey in Maryland?
Parking in Maryland, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is Maryland in the area you cover?
Yes, Maryland is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Maryland as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In Maryland, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Storm damage roof reports around Maryland
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. If your home in Maryland is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Sutton House, about 2.1 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Maryland. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Evangelist, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you own a rental within reach of Stratford (London) station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. For businesses in and around places like Stratford Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Maryland is about 3 miles south of Walthamstow, in Greater London. Whether the building in Maryland is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Our area takes in places right across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Surveys in E15, E20 and E7 are booked the same way as anywhere else. Streets in the area include Cam Road, Ward Road and Wise Road. If you are just outside Maryland, we cover Stratford (1 mile west), East Village (1 mile north-west), Temple Mills (1 mile north-west), West Ham (1 mile south-east) and Holloway Down (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover London (5 miles south-west), City of Westminster (7 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles west).
What’s near Maryland
Typical jobs here are in homes near Sarah Bonnell School, West Ham Park and Carpenters Primary School and the streets around them. Maryland has its own railway station: Stratford (London) station. Well-known places in the area include Passmore Edwards Museum (0.5 miles east) and Tower of London (4 miles south-west). The countryside around Maryland includes Old Ford Island and Hollow Pond.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Maryland
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What made you get in touch
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
